The One mistake picture

Continuity mistake: During the fight with Gabe and Yulaw, Yulaw does a powerful move of lunging forward and smashing Gabe with both his fists, sending him flying into a green metal box that crumbles from the impact. Gabe then falls to the floor, close to the box. The shot changes to Yulaw thinking he has victory, then back to Gabe. Gabe is now noticeably further from the green box, and his arms and legs are in different positions. (01:08:40)

Continuity mistake: At one point in their fight, Gabe hits Yulaw hard enough he flies back into a machine, and causes a shower of sparks to start falling down like rain. One shot shows Gabe step into the shower of sparks, and shows many of the sparks bouncing off his head and shoulders. The shot cuts to Yulaw, then back to Gabe. Gabe is still in the shower of sparks, but not one is touching him. In fact, through the entire time those two are in the sparks, it never again shows any hitting or bouncing off them, except towards the end of the spark shower when Yulaw is flipping through them.

Continuity mistake: Both Gabe and Yulaw have their hair parted on the right side. But during the fight between them, you can tell they flipped the image of the film as it shows Yulaw's part on the left side in one shot, and again a couple shots later. It then returns to his right side. (01:11:35)

Continuity mistake: When Yulaw slams Gabe into a metal box, the glass and debris falls next to his feet. You see both glass and a few chunks of metal, with one especially large chunk of metal. It cuts to Yulaw, then back to Gabe, and now the metal chunks are missing and it just shows glass shards. (01:08:40)

Continuity mistake: When the evil Jet Li hits the motorcycle cop with his motorcycle, he crashes into a store gate and bends it. The camera angle changes to a wide shot and the top of the gate is now broken when it wasn't in the previous shot. (00:48:35)

Continuity mistake: When Yulaw is in the vents and the police are shooting at him, you can see that the policemen's flashlights on their guns are on and pointed at the vents, but in the next shot where it shows the vents, there is no light shining on them. (00:04:55)

Continuity mistake: Right before the evil Jet Li shoots the cop Jet Li, the cop Jet Li slides down a concrete wall with a huge groove in it. In the next close-up, he turns around and he is standing farther down in front of the wall. (00:23:05)

Sgt. Siegel: Razor wire should have kept anyone out of there, let alone moving fast... But there's no blood.

Trivia: In the gunfire scene at the prison, at the beginning of the movie, when the sergeant yells to two of his men "Woo, Scott, follow me," it is a clear joke from director James Wong to fellow moviemakers John Woo and Ridley Scott.

Question: Whatever happened to the "evil" TK? The one that used the mice bomb to help Gabriel Yulaw escape. Was she arrested or did she escape?

Answer: Just looked it up, the character's name is Massie Walsh, apparently. But yeah, she's basically the "evil TK" version. Anyways, I was trying to ask what happened to her.

Mlp1327

Answer: Yulaw killed T.K., who was hiding in Gabe's residence.

Wrong, T.K. I'm talking about the OTHER one. I don't know what her name is, but the one who put a bomb in the mouse to help Yulaw escape early in the movie. The scene in the multiverse area.

Mlp1327

Since we never see her again, there's the possibility that she managed to escape during the confusion. Especially since she was wearing a disguise.
